The past two years rate went up $170, paid $150 extra to have gravel on lot. There are no shade trees. Pond for kids to swim in, filled with stagnate river water. Zip line $8.00 to go 200 feet. Myself and several seasonal campers left due to unprofessional actions of owner. I can't give this campground a good review! - Bill McCoy

Fairly new park with mostly seasonal sites. It backs up to the Ohio river where there is a lot of barge traffic to watch. The sites are gravel and the roads are gravel. There is good Verizon coverage, but no park internet. The rate seems to be a little high, for the area and amenities.

The owner is very accommodating and they are putting a lot of work into the park. This is a less traveled area of Ohio and West Virginia, with a lot of history. If you are in this area, I would recommend this park. - retiredfields

This is a huge "Resort," but the campground is neck to neck with your neighbor in a small area of the park. Looks as though some pull thru sites have been divided, giving you even less room and convenience. There is an indoor pool and amusement area and outside play area for children. The laundry room is combined with the work out room. There are many permanent residents but sites are well-kept. There were full hookups, which was nice. - CarolinaCruiser

This is a "membership" seasonal park, not well suited for a one or two night stay. Very crowded with small sites and lots of cars and golf carts make it difficult to maneuver a 30' trailer. However, it's in a beautiful country setting, four fishing ponds, indoor pool and activities for kids. Neighbors partying until after midnight spoiled it for us. - Sirsea

This park is in a beautiful setting, lots park & trail areas. Disappointed the pool was not open looked like a lovely facility. Sites in our section (3) were close together. Services were accessible, however the electrical was near the front of our site, lucky we had enough cord. Site was level. - Our-Wandering-Casa

A small but very friendly campground. Some of the nicest people I have ever meet. Just your everyday Mom and Pop campground where you become family. I would give this place an A+++ just for how out of the way they go to please you. Wish all campgrounds where this accommodating. Two fishing lakes stock with Bass, Catfish,Blue gill,Crappie. LP fill on site as well as cheap firewood. - Ty M

Extremely well-maintained and manicured. Sites were grassy and shady for the most part and very spacious. Permanent campers were very nice people. Stopped by and welcome us... very friendly without being intrusive. Only 2 rows of campers .... rivers-edge is for permanent guests ... but you can still see the river and there is a large 'marina' are from which you can fish ... HUGE catfish. Wonderful playground with trampoline and swings. Very serene and peaceful. Slept like a baby... also, fun to watch the riverboats and barges go up and down the Ohio River. - kward

A very well maintained and attractive CG right beside the Ohio river. Directly across the river from a power plant. Staff super friendly and helpful. No credit cards accepted. Pay by cash or personal check. Entrance road is long, gravel, and 1-lane with no "passing lane". No overhead obstacles except power line about middle of grass sites (away from river), about 13½ feet up. Sites along river are long-term so transients are across the little gravel road in the grass. Sites are super-big, very spacious, level with pedestal at mid-rig. FHU-30/50. Fires permitted at some sites. Well-water, pressure and taste okay. Office store has snacks, ice cream, soft drinks and is an antique store run by the owners. No RV supplies. Restrooms at far southeast end of CG but I didn't check them out. No propane sales. Nice playground. Laundry is a single washer and dryer in basement of office, $5.00 per load. No other amenities (pool, spa, etc). No Wi-Fi. Verizon cell coverage is "1 bar". - StephenK

One of my favorite campgrounds. Although no waterfront sites are available, you are located on the river bank overlooking the Ohio River. View of Southern sky for satellite access is limited, for Dish TV and Hughes internet. - Rex Carlyle

Great park and excellent value. Very clean and tidy. Camp hosts are very helpful and friendly. The sites are a little to close, but overall great place to stay. There are many locals staying here for the summer and all of them keep their places very tidy and clean. We would stay here again. - Nickncacki

This is a city/county park that houses mostly full time residents (I do not understand why local governments allow this!). Many RVs have underpinning, decks, and rotten tires. The manager was the friendliest I have ever dealt with in hundreds of parks...she was wonderful. However, the bathrooms were so old, run down and grimy that we were hesitant to use them. Our site was level and shady, but we could not get satellite (space #2). Trains were infrequent but the trailer park next to the RV park had a lot of loud vehicles and even had a generator running all day, which was quite loud if you like to sit outside. - Pinkflamingo71

The previous post covers most everything but some amplification is needed. All the sites that have power have 50/30/20 amp service. This is great however flat and level would in no way describe the sites. Most are very short with significant slope in multiple directions to them in that require a lot of blocking to get level. Our site needed an extra 3" of blocking with full extension of the air bags to get level and it was one of the most level ones we found in the park. The toilets were nasty and needed cleaning. The showers were great with lots of hot water and pressure. Verizon cell service and mifi were mostly very weak 3g but if you stayed up very late or got up very early you might get enough signal to take care of business. They have wifi in the park but we had no signal at our site. Roads and sites are paved. This place was reasonably priced and we'd probably stay here again if we were in the area. - pumper9x9

We were looking for a campground with full services after a week of boondocking. We're self contained and don't use the facilities except for an occasional shower. We stayed on a Saturday/Sunday in late October in our 25 foot MH. This CG is quite nice. There are 5 loops. The layouts appear similar. Loops 1, 2, 3 are reservable, while 4, 5 are walk in. Loops 1, 2, 5 have electric while 3, 4 are primitive. Loop 1 has pull throughs. We stayed in loop 3. Sites are arrayed along both sides of the loop road and a circle at the end. The sites are back/drive in with a paved pad surrounded by grass. Most need leveling. The sites vary greatly in size and some are better for tents or RVs. Most are good sized. Tall trees provide shade and not privacy between sites. There are pit toilets throughout. There are two 16-stall shower houses shared by the 5 loops. They're a bit dated and clean with ample hot water. There's a dump station with potable water in the center of the CG. Cell coverage varies throughout the CG. There's usable ATT and Verizon cell coverage at the end of Loop 3. Primitive site rates are $21 for in season weekends and $18 starting after the 3rd weekend in October. - dsvt

Forked Run (pronounced "fork-ed") is in another time. It's away from cell phones and urban sprawl. The park offers few creature comforts. Basic electricity, latrines, old and perpetually wet shower houses. Yet where can you watch a huge barge drift down the Ohio River? Or catch sight of bald eagles? The park is lovingly maintained. I have never come across a more caring and dedicated staff. On a holiday, they drove to each site and made sure campers knew a big storm was approaching. Forget the game boys, kids here splash and swim at an idyllic beach, play frisbee golf, cornhole and rent boats for the lake. We bought delicious local tomatoes. It's unlikely there is anyplace to eat out, or even get groceries nearby. We needed gasoline, and found a BP about 30 minutes of semi-windy road with an ice cream stand that sold excellent cones, malts and food. The big warning is for big rigs. I don't know. Maybe there's a way to come in from the west or southwest, but OH 124 has hills and tight turns with narrow sections. Patience and sound equipment recommended. We pulled a popup (which we saw plenty of at camp area 2) and I held my breath on one occasion while sensing the Ohio River was "right there" and no guard rail. This is only a few miles, but care is needed along OH 124 from US 50. Drive it in the day. On the other hand, a very nice boat launch to the Ohio River is nearby, so skilled people do this all the time. Be wary of your GPS from Parkersburg. Take US 50 all the way to 124. We stayed only one day but will definitely return to hike and explore. - arborvitaes

Wonderful gem in the middle of the “Windy Nine”. Motorcycle routes, owners are very friendly and accommodating. Large lots and many friendly neighbors. - flhr_king

A little nervous driving our RV plus toad between the two lakes and up the hill, but guided back to a long gravel pull through with grass between sites. Very quiet and peaceful place. Lot of seasonal campers that only come on weekends. 16 miles to Athens, close to Go Mart and Dollar Store, Larry's Pizza is great and will deliver. Friendly owners who work hard to keep the place nice. Will definitely stay here again. - Sharon Kerr

Visited late October for a long weekend. Convenient to grandkids in Athens. A few transient spots appear to be set aside for large rigs, mostly in the wooded Hilltop loop. Most large sites were occupied by seasonal units. Many smaller sites were available in other loops. There are many water supply hydrants located through the camp so several sites are within a 100 foot hose reach. Nice dog walk trail along east side of lake. Sites are primarily sharp crushed stone, closely spaced, most with a slight to moderate grade. Our site was featured with hickory and oak trees with falling nuts pounding the roof. Bath house functional but poorly maintained, windows open with cranks removed during cold temps, no toilet paper, infrequent cleaning. Close to US-50 so expect highway noise. Will probably return again to visit family since we are fully contained, based only on convenience to Athens. - Newfwagen

Seems like a funky park. Lots of RV's that are parked for the summer, families come out on the weekend. Site was dirt, with a little gravel. When it rained, it got muddy. No pad for picnic table, so it was not usable, because the ground was wet, easily became muddy. No water at the site, just electricity. No problem with electricity. Did go kayaking on the lake. Have a nice beach area for swimming, with an awesome looking blowup "play area" (slides, swing, climbing features). - Ol JB

Most of the campers at Lake Snowden are "extended stay" and many spend the entire summer at the lake. Sites are available on a daily, weekly, monthly, and even a seasonal basis. One big draw for campers is the Ohio Pawpaw Festival that is held every year. It is a fun, family festival with bands, kids activities, and heck they even sell Pawpaw beer for mom and dad! The people are so mellow and fun here, it is a great time. The campground always seems quiet, even during the Pawpaw festival. The campers are respectful and adhere to the rules and curfews. This is a place to go if you have a boat. The lake is very pretty for the paddler, and the fishing is fun for the angler. The grounds are kept up well, and there are stores and gas stations close by. It is very close to Athens, Ohio and the historic Ohio University campus. A short drive to Athens will give you night on the town or a day full of fun at a relaxed and quaint college town From the web site: "Campsites are divided into 4 areas. The Locust Grove is ideal for those wanting to use the horse trails. Big Oak camp has some lakefront sites and is close to the play area. Hickory Camp is close to the camp shelter house and off the beaten path. Hilltop Camp offers sites on the hilltop with hot showers and flush toilets (vault toilets are located in the other camps). Lake Snowden is a 675 acre education and recreation park, featuring the largest of four lakes which form the Margaret Creek Conservancy District. The lake covers approximately 136 acres offering camping, boating, fishing, picnicking and swimming. The serene setting reveals natural beauty while maintaining the convenience of being just 5 miles from Athens, Ohio. The shelter houses, restroom facilities, beach, shoreline fishing holes, and fish hatchery make Lake Snowden a full-featured recreation park." - Accidental RVer

Good place to stop over on way to WV. Full hookups in a grass field behind the fairgrounds. Bath house was in very bad shape during our visit. Toilet paper all over and showers dirty. The bathhouses themselves are very nice but appear to not be taken care of by the staff. The power, water and sewer hookups are well placed and good. - Teacher's Pet

This is an acceptable place to stay for an overnight on your way through southern OH. There aren't a lot of campground choices along US35. The fairgrounds is huge and there were only a handful of other RVers, some of whom looked as if they were seasonal or permanent. As others have noted the sites are all grass and that might be a problem if there had been any significant rainfall. We picked a site that seemed to be reasonably level but we could just barely get level using all the capabilities of our MH's jacks. There is a ramshackle trailer with a campground host sign but no one was home the entire time we were there. We tried calling the phone number listed on the website, which we had used the week before to get some information, but no one ever answered. We eventually decided that the workampers who lived in the trailer had gone away for a few days without telling anyone at the fairgrounds. We eventually just left and went on our way. - docj

Back in sites on grass. Water hookup every 2 sites, so we picked a site where it would be on our street side. Sites toward the top of the hill are more level. Place was pretty empty so we were able to pull through into our site. Men's room was nasty, but it was just after the county fair and probably had not yet been cleaned. Rate was Senior rate. Good place to stop for an overnight if traveling. - 2hams
